Intent-Based Analytics - Probe Basics
Intent-Based Analytics (IBA) helps manage complex networks by bridging the gap between raw data and actionable intelligence. IBA probes provide the following benefits:
-
Proactive Monitoring - IBA continuously checks network health against predefined expert rules and dynamically updates as the network evolves.
-
Customization and Automation - Users can create sophisticated analytics pipelines and use them to extract meaningful insights from large amounts of telemetry data.
-
Enhanced Telemetry Analysis - Built-in and user-defined telemetry collectors can be customized to collect data from existing NOS commands.
-
Real-Time and Historical Insights - Analysis of real-time and historical telemetry provides trend analysis, statistical insights, and anomaly detection to support long-term planning and troubleshooting.
This simple exercise demonstrates the fundamentals of working with a predefined IBA probe.
